The Vision Our vision is that every student (K-12) will have at least one opportunity per level (elementary, middle and high school) to participate in a service learning project.
Definition Service learning is a teaching strategy that integrates meaningful service with instruction and reflection to enrich learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. For youth, teachers, administrators, community members and parents, service learning offers a dynamic path toward a more engaging classroom and service experiences.

Project concluded with a food drive. -Middle school students provided cross-age tutoring to elementary students. -Middle school students made speeches, developed a website, wrote letters, learned social studies vocabulary and gained global awareness while raising funds to support H20 for Life. - Art teachers and students created more than 800 ceramic bowls which were sold at Empty Bowls, a community event that included a meal of soup and bread made by the Family and Consumer Science teachers and students.
